My comments were about equally devided between liking the light and not.

Here are my outtakes

005.jpeg is the original shot. I made it blind by sticking the camera inside the crack at the shed door.

I like the overall feeling of Morning Barn. The texture is good and the shadows are nice, and there is no doubt about it being "OLD." What I would have like to see is to zoom out a bit so the beautiful tree could frame it a little better, tilt up to show less foreground and more tree over the top right. It is a natural frame and should have been included more...imho. The barn doesn't need to be so centered. Having said all that, I want you to know I like this picture...just looking improve an already good one.

inside2bv.jpg is nice. I love the reddish hue to the wood, and the way the light spills in the cracks.
inside2a.jpg The light is too washed out in spots
something old 003.jpg I like for the closeup detail of the rotting wood. I really have a thing for rotting wood...weird soul that I am...lol It's interesting about the two things in the front. One looks like a broken cinder block, but the other, though similar has softer lines and reminds me of an old salt lick, which would add to the story of animals having once inhabited this abandoned barn. I like that one best I think.
I'll post my outtakes. Since my submission did the worst I've done so far, maybe I should have put one of the outtakes in. Oh well...live and learn...hopefully...:-)

*grin* I experienced the same. I'm not sure if it's a monitor calibrating problem or something like that. I think it's just peoples different taste.

In your photo I like the general lighting. Only the strong blue light in the upper right corner is a bit strange because it does not fit to the rest of the photo which has this nice red tone.

For that matter I liked inside2bv.jpg from the outtakes better than your submission.

Thank you Stephen and Grayce. The one you cited Stephen is the one I had planed to submit but I sized it wrong, too short length wise. Got stuborn and refused to redo it.

The strange blue light may have been a bit of southern sky. The yellow light was from the sunrise.

Grayce the barn is just across the road from me so I'll continue to shoot it and it's many features for some time. lol

Here are my outtakes from the "Something Old" challenge. I'd really appreciate comments, critiques, etc. The photo I submitted is also in there. I think any of my outtakes would have done better than the one I used, but that isn't the point. I CHOSE to show the better side of age...how some things improve with age...like wine, cheese, wood, and yes...even people! Anyway...seems I took some hits for choosing to portray a concept out of the normal way of thinking. I do concede to the honest criticism that mentioned the overexposure of my lemon. You are right! I saw it before I submitted it, but I just liked the composition enough to forego my alternate.
Please take a look and comment. Thanks everyone!

Something Old Outtakes

Aelith, I lived across from an old barn too...I took a few photographs of it. Most of them didn't please me too much though...I just didn't really get the knack. I shoulda stuck with it. I do love old barns, and out houses too.

Grayce the barn is just across the road from me so I'll continue to shoot it and it's many features for some time. lol

Grayce, I think the outtake is the better version. Squint at it and see a yellow circle, a warm brown arc swooshing upward then a gray diagonal slash leading the eye back down to the center of interest. a much more dynamic picture with more pleasing colors to my eyes.

I liked your entry and understood it's connection to the challenge. It just didn't strike me as complelling. Seeing your outtake I now know why.

I keep entering the wrong thing. Instead of the shinny pots, I should have entered the B&W greenwear pots and now you say the outside of the barn is superior. lol. Well we will see about something new!
As for pencils---:P *grin*
